Hmm I appear to have gone quiet since my fateful return to Plymouth. Must resolve that. Hello again! Things have been going alright - thus far - especially with regard to UPAD (University of Plymouth Amateur Dramatics - have I spelled this out already?) Last night was Monologue Night and, given the amount of busy I was being that day, I had no time to think seriously about what I wanted my piece to be, so I simply Googled 'dramatic monologue' and searched through what I found. I ended up choosing a piece spoken by Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte) and....it went down surprisingly well. Not so much my choice as the way I spoke it - and, after taking into consideration the critique I received after my first performance, the way I acted it too. Which astounded me given that I was reading it rather than acting it, to an extent. I was almost in tears (the other emotional performances aside - of which there were a few).
Today, I attended the Health and Safety talk for the Boo at the Zoo at Dartmoor event on the last October weekend. I now know that on the night I will be dressed as a creepy clown, standing, swaying, maybe laughing or whispering to myself. Given the spate of clown attacks happening recently, this could've been a bad idea, but if I'm not chasing them or wielding a machete, I'll be fine.
Now, though, I must return to my reading for the night.
Tomorrow begins another day dedicated solely to writing for Friday's Dramatic Writing class.
